SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Importation of Mangoes from 

the Philippines. 

OMB Number: 0579-0172. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: The Plant Protection Act 

(PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.) authorizes 

the Secretary of Agriculture to restrict 

the importation, entry, or interstate 

movement of plants, plant products, and 

other articles to prevent the 

introduction of plant pests into the 

United States or their dissemination 

within the United States. Regulations 

authorized by the PPA concerning the 

importation of fruits and vegetables into 

the United States from certain parts of 

the world are contained in ‘‘Subpart— 

Fruits and Vegetables’’ (7 CFR 319.56-1 

through 319.56-50). 

Under these regulations, mangoes 

from Guimaras Island in the Republic of 

the Philippines may be imported into 

the United States only under certain 

conditions to prevent the introduction 

of plant pests into the United States. 

The regulations require information 

collection activities, including box 

labeling, phytosanitary certificates with 

an additional declaration, trust fund 

agreements, and import permits. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

0.662287 hours per response. 

Respondents: Philippine plant 

protection officials; mango producers 

and packinghouses on Guimaras Island, 

Philippines. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 1,827. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 1,827. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 121 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Interstate Movement of Certain 

Land Tortoises. 

OMB Number: 0579-0156. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Animal Health 

Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), 

the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) regulates the 

importation and interstate movement of 

certain animals and animal products to 

prevent the introduction into or 

dissemination within the United States 

of pests and diseases of livestock. 

The regulations in 9 CFR part 93 

prohibit the importation of the leopard 

tortoise, the African spurred tortoise, 

and the Bell’s hingeback tortoise to 

prevent the introduction and spread of 

exotic ticks known to be vectors of 

heartwater disease, an acute, infectious 

disease of cattle and other ruminants. 

The regulations in 9 CFR part 74 

prohibit the interstate movement of 

those tortoises that are already in the 

United States unless the tortoises are 

accompanied by a health certificate or 

certificate of veterinary inspection. The 

certificate must be signed by an APHIS 

accredited veterinarian and must state 

that the tortoises have been examined 

by that veterinarian and found free of 

ticks. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of this information 

collection activity for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning our 

information collection. These comments 

will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, through use, as 

appropriate, of automated, electronic, 

mechanical, and other collection 

technologies; e.g., permitting electronic 

submission of responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 2.0 

hours per response. 

Respondents: APHIS accredited 

veterinarians, U.S. tortoise breeders, 

members of tortoise adoption 

organizations. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 50. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 10. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 500. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,000 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will
